He arrived!

How many months I was dreaming again of having a cat. 'El dibujo del gato', without being inspired by these incredible inspiring creatures. Wietske is living with my parents since I went to the other side of the world to start a new life. When I came back, she was so happy to live with them that it looked horrible to take her again away from the place she was used by then. So after more then two years alone, without any 'moustache' close to me, finally I can make a little dance of hapiness. It's a boy with a white nose and toes...Only two days he is living here with us and he is already our god! Just one problem : his name! I thought about MAYO, just sounds sweet but many friends refer to the sauce on the french fries..., my husband likes MICHI, like they call cats in Peru, michimichimichi...but that sounds so inpersonal to me, he should have a name that suites him perfect, but it has to sound in spanish too! Some names I found on the net that could work: MAGO , MANTO, MAU. What should I choose? Or is Mayo just right? ;) Or do you have still another nice name for this lovely man of me! Help me! :)

Kathy,I am so happy for you,I know how you loves cats! I had a cat(female) named:Tiki (from Kon-Tiki),but my dearest was a male:Mish-Mish (that in serbian means:Mous-Mous!) :)Now we have another female,a wild one,named: Bush baby (some kind of monkey I think) but we call her simply: BiBi!Oh,I like a lot:MICHI!

Thank you soooo much dear friends for all these inspiration!!! All those names are so RIGHT and nice to hear. After reading all your comments we were watching our 'little woolen devil'...and we started naming him after artists/painters...Klimt, Vincent, Pollock...he also made many spots :), and in one clear moment...we shouted together DALí!!!!Salvador Dalí had a 'moustache' like our devil, and the spot on his nose is just the accent on the I of Dalí! You got it? We are sooo happy on this moment because he himself is jumping around like crazy. Dalí sounds so RIGHT! Thank you everybody...I can leave Mayo with the Ketchup. Proud to have my own Dalí!♥

These days I'm living in my homecountry, Belgium, with my head in the Peruvian Andes, close to my lovely man and little cat Dalí. I love to draw when it's raining while I'm baking some Irish bread or an English applecrumble...The world in my heart in everything I do!
